Seedling problem

The Chemist · #1 (**permalink**) 11-05-2009, 02:53 AM

Hey guys, I've ran into a problem.

I planted my seed on the 29th of October and it sprouted on the 2nd of November so its still small with only 4 leafs(2 small serrated and 2 small round leafs)

The small round leafs are dry, curling downwards and lightly browning. The tips of serrated leafs are ever so slightly browning(Not bad YET).

I used 3-4 drops of some 10-15-10 when I planted the seed (It says use 7 drops per litre so I cut that in half)

The plant is under 2 27 watt 6500k and 2 23 watt 4100k CFL's at about 4 inches away with 3 12v pc fans (2 for intake, 1 for exhaust) all 3 fans are in the lid to my growspace(Rubbermaid bin)

The temperatures are between 27 and 29 celcius, Which I think is a bit high but is about as good as I can get right now unfortunately.

Is it nute burn? Too hot? A mix?

Or is it common for the little round leafs to curl and dry up?

The round water leaves will die and fall off. Shouldn't have added any food whatsoever at the beginning. Everything the plant needs is in the cotyledon and until they die off, no supplimental nutrition is needed. The serrated leaves will eventually die off too but you want at least the 3 leafer or even 5 leafers to be established before that happens.

Good luck.

Yeah, I won't be giving it anymore nutes for a bit.

I've read the round leafs die, But it only sprouted 2 days ago.
Do they die this early?
